This activism was ideologically related, although distantly, to the thoughts that would result in Fascism in Italy. Activists were often ardent anti-Socialists and deeply suspicious of democracy and parliamentarism.
In Scandinavia, activist policies were judged unsuccessful when occasionally (half-ways) implemented, as in the years before the dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway and in Sweden in the first two years of World War I; but in Finland the Activism was seen as successful in establishing the White Guards, the Germany-trained Jägers, the victory in the Finnish Civil War, and the thereby secured independence.
The Nationalistactivism was an elitist political movement of the early 20th century in Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic countries.
The activism was revived in both Finland and Sweden in connection with the Winter War.
While in Finland the activism would continue in movements of the interbellum: the Academic Karelia Society, the Lapua movement and the Patriotic People's Movement; in the Baltic countries and Sweden it hardly survived outside some narrow circles of military officers, industrialists and aristocrats with political ambitions.
The activism industry is composed of organizations and individuals who make a living from activism, involvement in action to bring about change.
Many organizations whose primary activity is activism are defined as being nonprofit organizations.
However, where civil liberties exist, the penalty for failing to comply with forced activism is often unemployment, rather than imprisonment for political crimes, as is often the case in contemporary societies lacking in civil liberties.
